Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half
I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh
They all point and laugh
They all point and laugh like...
Static on the speakers
Translation: Too much silence
I think I've hit my peak
I've grown accustomed to the violence
I always feel weak when I compare myself to tyrants, but I feel like I am eye to eye with I and I's own iris
Tired of the same ole same
The games we play are prepubescent
Flirting with mortality, we're glowing iridescent
Here rests NKNGS
He did his best, but wasn't shit
He stressed himself to death
I hope he finally found bliss (Yeah right...)
Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half
I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh
They all point and laugh
They all point and laugh like...
Every morning back breaks from getting out of bed
Fell into a pit of snakes
Bought every word they said
Don't think I have what it takes to conquer existential dread
But even if I did, I made this bed
So I'ma lie in it
Wine and dine my demons 'fore I take them out to pasture
Most of those who claim they're loyal, actually some actors
Many people hesitant to bite into that apple, because knowledge equals suffering
I'll lead them by example
Everybody loves me when I'm broken in half
I'm screaming from the agony, they all point and laugh
They all point and laugh
They all point and laugh like...
